COOKING LIGHT

cooking light is a very satisfying way to cook which means a better way of life and the best thing about that is you’re only limited by your imagination, You have a lot of options with light cooking, it’s good to incorporate a wide variety of foods in your diet such as salads, vegetables and fruits, including seeds and nuts. Variety is said to be the spice of life, and it will help ensure your cooking light recipes are nutrient-dense, interesting, and the best thing is fun! Aim for variety; be different, even when you serve your favorite foods over and over again, by serving different side dishes and snacks.
Be creative in planning your meals. Boost your consumption of salads and vegetables by eating these foods for lunch rather than just for dinner. Make it a goal to cook a different vegetable every day for lunch and for dinner. Plan a meal around a particular vegetable or salad, maybe a roast pumpkin, feta and rocket salad, just by its self is a great meal or serve it with olive oil toasted sour bread and a tablespoons of salsa. Or make a simple meal of sautéed vegetables and pasta, with a touch of basil pesto.
Try different foods often. Experiment with a variety of grains such as couscous, barley, and wheat berries. Try fruits and vegetables that are popular in different international cuisines. Accentuate the positive. Focus more on healthy foods that fit into your cooking plan instead of foods to avoid. If you’re unsure how to include a new food into your new cooking light style just experiment. The internet can be a great resource for new recipe and preparation ideas .But be sure that you’re building your menu on a strong plant food base. Make them the base for all your cooking light ideas, but just remember one important thing and that is to enjoy yourself, to learn more about light cooking check out the great light cooking cookbook.
